Be the king of the blues with Supro’s hot new combo
One of America’s most famous amp brands and one of the world’s oldest, Supro can trace its origins way back to the 1920s. However, it was the Chicago era between 1935-68 that truly established Supro as the voice of the blues. Practically all influential blues artists from that era used Supro amps at one time or another, so it’s no surprise that many British blues rock pioneers adopted them too, with Jimmy Page reputed to have used a Model 24 combo on some of Led Zep’s early and most revered recordings. After fading into obscurity in the late 1970s, Supro was relaunched by effects guru and Pigtronix president David Koltai in 2013, and the new range has been a resounding success, blending vintage inspiration with modern manufacturing and that unmistakable Supro mojo.
